I’m on an M1 Max device and the GPU performance drops have not gotten back to Sequoia levels on Tahoe patches. Golden Gate hasn’t changed anything either.
Does it get better if you disable transparency in the accessibility settings, or is there no workaround?
They toned down the effects in Golden Gate but the backend is doing the same amount of work to blend all that pointless stuff in.
You'd get the performance back if they gave up on the translucently to the point of removing the code.
